The list of accolades and accomplishments just keeps growing for Gannon Buhr.
Gannon Buhr became the youngest player in history to win their third PDGA MPO Major on Sunday at the 2024 United States Disc Golf Championship, continuing a dominant season while adding to his storied and young career.
Barela reclaimed the lead over Buhr by one stroke on Saturday in Rock Hill, continuing the back-and-forth between the two young stars all week at Winthrop all while Ricky Wysocki firmly entered the conversation.
Gannon Buhr has his gameplan on the course and one for the final PDGA Major of 2024.
"Sticking to the same plan," Buhr told the Disc Golf Network's Nate Perkins of any changes for Round 3. "I just want to be in contention going into Sunday."
Anthony Barela strung the good shots together on a windy opening day in Rock Hill.
Quite a few of them.
Barela birdied five-straight in a clean run through the middle of Winthrop for a 9-under opening round and one-stroke lead at the 2024 United States Disc Golf Championship.
Kristin Tattar and Gannon Buhr both put the pedal to the metal coming down the stretch in Vermont to take down the first DGPT Playoff event of the season — Tattar in another huge comeback and Buhr by finishing strong yet again.
533 players across 23 divisions were throughout the Cary & Raleigh area for PDGA Major named after the late Tim Selinske, a pioneer, advocate and ambassador in disc golf.
You have to use the word "area" to describe this disc golf hotbed that will test players of all skill levels this week, from PDGA No. 68 to PDGA No. 293652, from pioneers of the sport to those just starting out in the lifetime game.
Proposals to host a prestigious PDGA Major — pinnacle events of the disc golf world — will be accepted from June 3 through October 1, 2024. This is a unique opportunity to showcase your expertise, your passion for the sport and your local area on a global stage.
The PDGA will be accepting bids for 2026 and 2027 at this time. If there are no viable bids for 2027, all bid submissions will be considered for 2026, and the bid documents for 2027 will be re-issued in 2025.
The lead is three for both division at the 2024 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by Zuca.
Holyn Handley and Isaac Robinson did their part on Thursday in the first trip through Ivy Hill Golf Clubto keep their leads as the pressure mounts in Lynchburg, Virginia.
After Thursday's shuffle, which saw seven FPO players move up a pool and 22 MPO players jump, it's time for the second run through the two courses ahead of Saturday's cut to the finals.
With a pair of eagles — and just a single bogey on the heavily-wooded and demanding track — Handley opened Worlds with a scoring 10-under, 1034-rated round, good enough for a three-stroke lead.
Virginia Polkinghorne and Ryan Monn both turned in the hot rounds of the day in their divisions as Championship Saturday arrives in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Inclement weather impacted the Grand Rapids, Michigan area but, after a few delays, the skies cleared and the 400-plus players hit the course to begin their quest for a PDGA World Championship.

“And now, we head to the most epic first tee in disc golf.”
Organizers of the European Disc Golf Festival hosted PDGA staff this past week in Tallinn, Estonia on the hallowed property of the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds.
A year ago, the Local Organizing Committee, led by Director of Operations Matthias Vutt, hosted the European Championships. This year, the EDGF is on the Disc Golf Pro Tour Elite Series. In 2025, the event will hold PDGA Major status.
